Nail Art Tutorial: "Dainty Flowers" Nail

How-dy ladies and gents?

Here's another "dainty" day with Dainty Nails! I've created this nail art with the love of flowers! I really do! I've tried adding up colors the to the usual flowers I've been creating and I'm glad to report...it still works! :D Talk about trials!

Apply one coat of natural base color. Let dry. In this post, I used ELF Nail Polish in Champagne.

Step 2:

Apply 2nd coat of the polish...

while wet, drop 5 dots of white polish

I've created 10 dots to create 2 flowers

Step 3:

Quickly drop a pink polish color on top of the white dots.

Step 4:

Using a needle, draw a line on dots going to the center. To create a more natural looking petals.

Step 5:

Drop a yellow colored dot in the middle as "flower bud" or you can use rhinestones.

Step 6:

Making sure the flowers are dry. Apply a thin coat of "glittery" polish. In my case, I use Elianto's

Step 7:

Apply a top coat.

You have your own dainty nails!!!Smile and stay pretty-licious!

This is perfect for those who aren't comfortable with loud colored polishes!If you don't have nail art pens, you can use the nail brush directly to create dots!Hope you like my nail art tutorial for the day!Stay healthy and Happy!

Purple snowflake! the base works great even alone! It's just my addiction to nail art that I can't stop just applying 2 coats of polish! :D Thanks

Sab, sad to say, I'm always checking out our ELF counter, and No polishes! I guess they didn't bring it down here as we have so many companies selling nail polishes! I'm sure you can find a similar color from our local brands! I believe Caronia has one!

Yas, I've said that same line a couple of months ago! But, I tried, and came out with ugly nail art..so give it a go!!!! I am not joking when I say I'm NOT good at drawing, it really takes practice!

Yumeko, oh my dear! I"d love to be there and show it to you. The reason why I am used to that nail art pen is because I've started seeing those being used by my nail artist, that's why I know what to do when I had my own set!

Tish, I honesty do not think of me as talented, I've been painting my nails since college and I learned how to do nail art because I've got a professional nail artist who does my nails in the past, so when I got my own set of nail art pens, I know what to do with it :)
